Currently on "Repeat Play" in my Head...

This song is kind of old at this point, and has been on my "favs" list for several years. I think I keep coming back to it because its a bit of a theme song for this stage in life... although I still have NO idea what the "mushaboom" is all about. Any ideas?

"Mushaboom" by Fiest

Helping the kids out of their coats -

But wait, the babies haven't been born.

Unpacking the bags and setting up,

And planting lilacs and buttercups.

But in the meantime we've got it hard -

Second floor living without a yard.

It may be years until the day

My dreams will match up with my pay.

Old dirt road
(mushaboom, mushaboom)

Knee deep snow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)

Watching the fire as we grow old

I got a man to stick it out

And make a home from a rented house.

And we'll collect the moments one by one

I guess that's how the future's done.

How many acres? How much light?

Tucked in the woods and out of sight

Talk to the neighbors and tip my cap

On a little road barely on the map.

Old dirt road
(mushaboom, mushaboom)

Knee deep snow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)

Watching the fire as we grow old.

Old dirt road
Rambling rose
(mushaboom, mushaboom)

Watching the fire as we grow

(mushaboom, mushaboom)

Well I'm Sold...

Since I am a music junkie, I may do this from time to time. Here is the song I currently have stuck in my brain... by one of my all time favorite artists.

"You Don't Know Me" by Ben Folds

I wanna ask you;

Do you ever sit and wonder

Its so strange that we could be together

For so long and never know, never care

What goes on in the other one's head?

Things I felt but I never said

You said things that I never said

So I'll say something that I should have said long ago...

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all.

You could have just propped me up at the table like a mannequin

Or a cardboard stand up and paint me

Any face that you wanted me to be

See, we're damned by the existential moment

When we saw the couple in a coma and

It was weakened with the cliche

But we carried on anyway

So, sure, I could just close my eyes

Yeah, sure, trace and memorize

But, can you go back once you know?

(You don't know me)

You don't know me at all.

If I'm the person that you think I am

Clueless chump you seem to think I am

So easily led astray, an errant dog

Who occasionally escapes and needs a shorter leash then

Why the f*@# would you want me back?

Maybe its because...

You don't know me at all.

So what I'm trying to say is

What I'm trying to tell you is

Not gonna come out like I wanna say it

Cause I only know you'll change it... (Say It!)

(You don't know me.)

You don't know me at all.
